Re: MSN Contacts appearing offline

I too am having this same problem.  I'm running 0.32.1 on a 17" Powerbook
running Panther 10.3.2.  The problem surfaced on Thursday of last week.
None of my MSN buddies show up  on line yet I am visible to them.
Sometimes, when they send me a message, my reply does not go through and the
window says they are not available.

There's no unusual activity in the console window.  MSN seems to connect and
disconnect though with unusual frequency.  Yesterday, it would disconnect in
under 2 minutes after connecting.

I removed my MSN account and re-added it.  Threw away the plist and started
anew there as well as reinstalled Fire.  Nothing seemed to work.

I'm stumped and sure could use some help.


Thanks.
